Syntax
svydescribe [varlist] [if] [in] [, options]
options description
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Main
stage(#) sampling stage to describe; default is stage(1)
finalstage display information per sampling unit in the final
stage
single display only the strata with one sampling unit
generate(newvar) generate a variable identifying strata with one
sampling unit
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
svydescribe requires that the survey design variables are identified
using svyset; see [SVY] svyset.

Description
svydescribe displays a table that describes the strata and the sampling
units for a given sampling stage in a survey dataset.

stage(#) specifies the sampling stage to describe. The default is
stage(1).
finalstage specifies that results be displayed for each sampling unit in
the final sampling stage; that is, a separate line of output is
produced for every sampling unit in the final sampling stage. This
option is not allowed with stage(), single, or generate().
single specifies that only the strata with one sampling unit be displayed
in the table.
generate(newvar) stores a variable that identifies strata with one
sampling unit for a given sampling stage.
Examples
. webuse nhanes2b
. svyset psuid [pweight=finalwgt], strata(stratid)
. svydescribe
. svy: mean hdresult
. svydescribe hdresult, single
. svydescribe hdresult, finalstage
. gen newstr = stratid
. gen newpsu = psuid
. replace newpsu = psuid + 2 if stratid == 1
. replace newstr = 2 if stratid == 1
. svyset newpsu [pweight=finalwgt], strata(newstr)
. svydescribe hdresult, finalstage
. svy: mean hdresult
. webuse nhanes2b, clear
. svy: mean hdresult
. svydescribe if e(sample), single
